Very Jealous, Craig.  But good to know that wheel/tire size combo works, because that's the combo I want on my car:P

Easy cowboy... Family above cars always takes priority.  Justin definitely has different priorities right now.

Just saying you're moving along well. 

Michael, I think our trick worked for we got Justin to commit in writing.    I think I'd better get into turbo drive for I have a feeling I'll be working on a silver 390 in the upcoming months if not weeks.

Kudos to Craig for all the amazing progress!  I am very impressed, but my car isn't done because I haven't made it a priority!!!

Seeing Shag and Jeff's Vert Project have made me realize it isn't getting done if I don't make time to work on it.

Bottom line, my wife and I agree that the Mustang needs to get done.  My goal is to finish it this year for sure.

Here you go, I will say it here, in Craig's post I will finish my car this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Justin, I know your time must be a hard thing to come by these days.  Maybe we need to schedule some group help time.  Pick a couple of weekend days, and I'm sure we can get a few extra hands to help speed up the process.

Nor Cal StangFix'ers need more fastbacks on the road around here!   :vic

Just a quick question, is your hood angled down more in the center or is that the camera angle?

Could it be the molding?

wow shags looking good..I would be worried about the gap with the UCA and the rim, what about the hood , like craig said. Maybe the moulding

How would the gap at the UCA be compressed any further for it to be an issue?  That side of the suspension, ie, LCA/Spindle/UCA, does not have any movement relative to the wheel other than the rotation of the spindle after everything is aligned and torqued.

+1


Unless you forget to tighten all 5 of the lug nuts.... the distance between the inner edge of the wheel and the outer edge of the UCA isn't going to change enough to create an interference problem.
